Kolu (Türi) Kollo
Kolu was recorded in 1639, when its owner was Peter Grote, and from the 1730s it belonged to the Grotenhielms. In 1875 Eduard von Middendorff bought the estate. The single-story Historicist house was built in 1890 to a design by the architect Erwin Bernhard and rebuilt after it burned in 1905. After the expropriation it housed a school.
